Snow City to open in Riyadh from July 13

Snow City will offer a realistic snowy environment that gives visitors the opportunity to experience real snow for the first time in the Kingdom.

Fahad bin Abdullah Al Othaim, chief executive officer of Al Othaim Leisure and Tourism, the company behind this new park, said: “A touristic attraction of this magnitude coincides with the Kingdom’s 2030 vision [and] aims to boost and develop internal tourism.

“Snow City is the first and largest comprehensive snow attraction in the kingdom. It has been constructed on a 5,000sqm area with a cost of around 100 million Riyals and with an hourly capacity of 350 people. Snow City is also host to 12 different entertainment activities and attractions, including a panoramic suspension bridge, ice bumper cars, sledge and ski zone, rope courses, climbing wall, snow mobiles, and many others.”

It seems like Ski Dubai will now have a regional competitor.
